Book Description
“Worth a read for anyone who cares about making change happen.”—Barack Obama A powerful new blueprint for how governments and nonprofits can harness the power of digital technology to help solve the most serious problems of the twenty-first century As the speed and complexity of the world increases, governments and nonprofit organizations need new ways to effectively tackle the critical challenges of our time—from pandemics and global warming to social media warfare. In Power to the Public, Tara Dawson McGuinness and Hana Schank describe a revolutionary new approach—public interest technology—that has the potential to transform the way governments and nonprofits around the world solve problems. Through inspiring stories about successful projects ranging from a texting service for teenagers in crisis to a streamlined foster care system, the authors show how public interest technology can make the delivery of services to the public more effective and efficient. At its heart, public interest technology means putting users at the center of the policymaking process, using data and metrics in a smart way, and running small experiments and pilot programs before scaling up. And while this approach may well involve the innovative use of digital technology, technology alone is no panacea—and some of the best solutions may even be decidedly low-tech. Clear-eyed yet profoundly optimistic, Power to the Public presents a powerful blueprint for how government and nonprofits can help solve society’s most serious problems.
Pennsylvania in Public Memory

Book Description
What stories do we tell about America’s once-great industries at a time when they are fading from the landscape? Pennsylvania in Public Memory attempts to answer that question, exploring the emergence of a heritage culture of industry and its loss through the lens of its most representative industrial state. Based on news coverage, interviews, and more than two hundred heritage sites, this book traces the narrative themes that shape modern public memory of coal, steel, railroading, lumber, oil, and agriculture, and that collectively tell a story about national as well as local identity in a changing social and economic world.

Book Description
Excerpt from Annual Report of the Pennsylvania State College for the Year 1905-1906: From July 1, 1905, to June 30, 1906; Part I, Departments of Instruction; Part II, Agricultural Experiment Station During the past year 12 students have pursued special work in agriculture and have been at a considerable disadvantage because the College does not prescribe a special course of one or two years. In some instances it has been found almost impossible to provide a satisfactory schedule for these men. Some prospective students, who have been unable to receive positive assurance on account of the difficulty in securing a desired schedule, have pursued studies elsewhere. The number of men applying for special work at The Pennsylvania State College fully warrants the establishment of prescribed courses. I would most heartily recommend that such courses be established.
